Nokia Lumia 1520 render leaked, showing off huge display

The popular Twitter profile Evleaks has released a full render of the Lumia 1520, or "Bandit." Previously publishing a screenshot, showing how the new Start screen will be configured on a 1080p display, we can now spot that very same screen capture in the render above. There's not a lot new in the image, except for the rear of the handset where there's no 41MP hump.

We'd always recommend to take this with a pinch of salt, but the Twitter account has been fairly accurate with leaks in the past and we can't see why the above render couldn't be the Lumia 1520. Just a quick recap on how this Lumia is going to be beastly, we're looking at a rumoured 170mm by 88.9mm device, with of course the 6-inch display.

We'll keep our eyes glued to the feeds and sources for more details, but it's certainly a Windows Phone we're excited to see hit the shelves.

I accidentally threw mine smack right into the wall when I tried to catch it as I dropped it. It bounced of the wall hit the floor and stayed there spinning. I was certain I would have a dead phone or atleast split/scratched up screen. Only visible mark left on the phone is a small indentation in the upper left corner.
Two weeks later it fell out of my pocket again and got slammed between the car door as i slammed it shut. Two small scratches for that... I´m probably lucky, but It sure also has to do something with build quality.

Dude go look at all of the cracked screen threads, the majority dropped it on its corner and bust the screen. I'm not trying to shit on your parade but there is a flaw in curved glass and plenty of people that shattered their screens proved it's weakness is edge impact which is one of the more frequent ones when dropping your phone.

I have accidentally dropped my 920 a handful of times onto either concret or steel plating and each time it was a corner drop with no damage to the screen at all. The corners were all squashed and jacked up, but no problem with the screen. I recently replaced the shell going from red to yellow because the original red shell was so messed up and looked fugly.

He's talking about the edge of the GLASS, not the phone. I'd chalk it up to bad luck, but I dropped my 920 on concrete from about maybe 1.5ft(lap height when sitting) and the edge of GLASS made first contact and I have a cracked screen. Dropped from higher many other times and casing made the contact, no big deal. Everything has an achilles' heel somewhere, and for 920 I think it's the edge of GLASS. (notice how I cap GLASS everytime?)

Im sorry to "bust" your bubble, but you're wrong. Just because the glass is curved doesnt make it weaker or less durable to shocks. Its the process in which the glass was made that matters. Go to the Corning Gorilla Glass website and read about said process before blurting out what you think to know is fact.

While you may be correct, which I know you are, you are REALLY awful at arguing/convincing. The majority of all cracked screens, flat or curved, all happen on a corner. I have a 8X and a 920 and dropped both numerous times on corner and neither have cracked. It IS TRUE that curved has a higher possibility of cracking, but all phones has an increased chance on cracking via corner impact. I'll take my chances for asthetics, after all thats what warranty is for.

Yes and no, and proud of it. (In short: Finland fought with the Wermacht, not the SS)
And that is why I'll be waiting for the 1945. Because that's how long grandpas held it together.

Actually, the minute that thing hits the shelves...

I love the wide screen, which is why I own an HTC instead of a Nokia, but I think that screen is way too busy. Unless they add a way to tone down the number of tiles, I'll be sticking with 1280x720. Hopefully manufacturers keep making high end 720p phones.

Isn't that the awesome thing of Live Tiles though? If you feel you have too many and they look busy, then just resize them to larger sizes. Thats actually how I envision my start screen, except for the top bar. I want 6 small tiles on top bar for phone/text/email/IE/market/drive. And then the rest is wide or normal size tiles.

Agreed. I like the larger screen, but not the fact that the tiles have been sized in a way where the screen is this busy. In addition, it's a larger screen, yes, but the tiles are actually smaller than their counterpart tiles on the 9xx/8xx screens. I don't like this.

+1
Based on the scaled renderings, the largest tile on the "bandit" will still be smaller than the current medium tile on the 9xx series phones. Seems like more "stuff" is squeezed onto the screen, but it'll all be less useful. Seems counter to the live tile concept.

Just because the space is there doesn't mean you have to fill it. I already have some gaps on my 920 home screen.
I find this terribly busy, I hope Nokia come out with some better press shots than this cos it's getting (rightly) slagged on places like Engaget for looking like a dogs' dinner.

Looks good.
MIcrosoft better get his stuff together and add more features to the OS.
Hardware is not an issue anymore and with Nokia it never was actually. The HD support was because of lack of support in the OS.

I agree to an extent. That is why I dislike the iOS home screen, even with folders, you still have a cluttered mess of icons. At least you can pick the medium or large tiles if you don't want the look of about 50 small tiles littering your screen.

I guess that the OS isn't ready yet for stylus support, which is a shame! Android has supported them for like 3 years! How come Microsoft is always so late to the party? WP8.1 has to support them and 2 apps side by side!!

Haha! MS late to the party with stylus support?! Holding on to the "antiquated" stylus tech was the biggest complaint of windows mobile and the early MS tablets. Sorry, not suggesting stylus support wouldn't be awesome on a 6" phone, but the irony of the comment struck me.

Unlikely, this is a new phone unlike the 928 which is an iteration of the 1920. It's more likely that this will be a phone released for multinational markets which makes it easy to include ATT on that list (due to the frequencies they use).

The holes you see at the top of the phone is a speaker grill. Rear facing stereo speakers to be exact. I am dissapointed to see that there is no Xenon flash. Hopefully this render is a little inaccurate.

So many tiles looks cumbersome to me. From the before leaked screenshot of the start screen, i resized the image to fit my 4.3" screen on 720. It looks really crowded. On a bigger screen it may be a different thing altogether. In this rendering too ot looks damn crowded, right?

The point is that's not how it works with users wanting to jump ship. The presentation of the screen is cluttered and this will be the first impression of WP. Although I do understand they're trying to show more options with GDR3....

It looks great, the side bezels look to be a little thinner than in the mockup from yesterday. I really don't understand why so many people harp about the screen being cluttered. This is one person's interpretation of their homescreen. All that you need to do is use all large tiles if you want it to be less cluttered. The only thing that will keep me from this phone is if there is no stylus. I want a Note type device, not a humongous phone.

With those dimensions, this phone would be bigger than the 6.3-inched Galaxy Mega, which is already pretty huge
I'm still waiting for a LG G2 / Sony Z1 kind of device, with a screen size between 5 and 5.2 inches, because there's a pretty big gap between the 1020 and this 1520

It's a great device but Microsoft and Nokia should implement phablet features just like the Note line. A giant phone is useless. It needs a pen, multi windows.... and more... And I doubt Microsoft is doing that.

I agree completely and I was thinking the same thing, watching the Note 3 demo the other day. Screen that big could easily support two apps side by side. Not to mention a good pen support. Why do I have this feeling Microsoft will promise a whole bunch of "phablet features" for Windows Phone 9 or 8.8 or whatever...

And this is where the entire Tiles concept falls appart. That screen looks incredibely cluttered! Not attractive at all.
Sure, you can put bigger tiles...but I think it would help if, with a screen that huge, you could actually leave spaces between tiles, instead of forcing them all together.

This is going to be very popular I'm sure. Not for myself, too big, but there's a market for this. Analysts predict upwards of 208 million giant smart phones will sell in 2015. Considering that there are very few giant smart phones available today, that's a pretty huge market.
This will grab people's attention and more and more people will start to notice that there is a viable alternative to Android and iOS.Link to the report

I have to agree with you. I read other OS forums (Android, Kindle, Apple) but they don't seem to get the same rude comments as they do here. WP comments can get down to the Yahoo level for the most innocent comments.
Anyway, WP still has very good followers who comment and respond well with the community. I enjoy reading through them :)

I don't think this phone has 20 MP camera... I think that the fact that there are two nokia phablets coming, this one with 8 or 13 MP camera and another more premium metal one (shown in leaked image before) with around 20 MP camera....
